Overview
The PhD Consortium at ICIIT 2025 is designed to provide PhD students with a valuable platform to present their dissertation plans and early research results. It allows students to receive feedback from experienced researchers, engage in discussions with fellow students, and explore potential collaborations.
The Consortium is open to currently enrolled PhD students. Submissions can cover a wide range of topics related to AI and its applications. The PhD student must be the main author, with collaborators and advisors as co-authors. Priority will be given to students from underrepresented groups in computing or those with limited resources.
Some students will be selected to give oral presentations, while others will present through poster sessions.
The Consortium will also include a panel discussion on various career paths and research opportunities in academia and industry. This session offers an avenue for PhD students to ask questions and seek advice on their doctoral studies and future careers.
Please note that in-person attendance is required for the PhD Consortium, and remote participation is not allowed.
